Traditional security operations often mean pitting the red team--which focuses on hacking and penetration testing to uncover weakness--against the more defensive stance of the blue team. With daily news of breaches and attacks, its critical to examine these techniques and see if new or supplemental approaches are needed. Cybersecurity experts will talk about when and how to go purple by merging the best capabilities and outcomes of the red and blue teams.
